Barnsley travel to take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 9 out of 13 times.
The last time the two teams met at Ipswich Town was back in August 1999, over five years ago, with Ipswich Town annihilating their visitors 6 - 1 in a League Division One match.
